Day of Prayer is March 2

MONMOUTH — World Day of Prayer, sponsored by Church Women United, Monmouth and Vicinity, will be at 1:30 p.m. March 2 at Kirkwood Westminster Presbyterian Church, 200 E. Cedar St., Kirkwood, where the church is handicapped-accessible and baby-sitting will be available. The theme is “All God’s Creation Is Very Good.” This year's WDP is written by the women of Suriname, which is one of the smallest countries in South America.

The focus will be on Genesis 1, the story of creation. Universal issues of climate change, natural disasters, pollution and human abuse of the environment — all affecting God’s good creation and God’s people — will be explored. The material to be covered is relevant for all our communities. The lesson will remind us that we are all caretakers of God’s creation.
